0805 SMD LED White

SMD LED Surface Mounted Devices, a special type of high power LED lights. With no wires, these devices provide less fuss and with seamless application. Instead, SMDs have tiny metallic contacts that can be directly soldered to circuit boards.SMDs are specialized components that came about to fulfill specific purposes where saving space was important. As electronics have shrunk in size, SMDs have become more popular than their traditional “through hole” counterpart due to greater packaging efficiency. SMDs are smaller and as their name implies they are “surface mountable”, making them ideal for use on electrical boards. Traditional diodes had long leads known as the cathode and the anode, while SMDs have very short ones or none at all.
